As requested by a friend, I made this quite simple component. It removes tracks from the playlist once they've been played (or skipped). So every time playback advances, the previously played track will disappear from the playlist.

This is a very basic component at the moment (with just an option to switch it on and off), but if people are interested in something like that, I might extend it.

If you have any feature requests, here's the right place to make them public and to allow me to know about them

Maybe:

1 - ability to set it to remove only if played track matches a criteria. For instance, a certain value in a certain tag. I have this "To tag" playlist where I load currently untagged tracks. I'm usually tagging them (rating, tempo and situations) with a remote control while they are playing. Sometimes, I fail to do it because I'm involved in something else. It would be useful (for me, at least) if the untagged ones would stay in the playlist even if they have already been played. The tagged ones should disappear, instead.

2 - ability to set when a track must be removed. If I'm previewing some tracks, manually or with the preview plugin, I could consider "played" a track even if it has not been played to the end.

3 - ability to send the removed tracks to another (existing or not) playlist as a sort of "bin playlist"

If a certain percentage of the track has been played?

Yes.

Another way could be something like this:

IF (elapsed time seconds > x) OR (end of track) OR (percentage > y) THEN remove.

The seconds could be more precise than the % when you're using the Preview mode.---------Another thing would be a "remove" command on the shortcuts list working only on the now playing track.I'm not sure but I think the existent "remove from playlist" works on the selected one.

Thanks.

Edit: sorry, I read the first post after sending my reply. Of course, ignore the things you have already done.

I took a look in Dro's file removal plugin for Winamp to see which good ideas he already implemented. So here are some ideas:

1. Option for "Remove on next" and "Remove on stop"

2. Option for "Load played playlist after last file was removed"

What i would like to have is a variable to display in trackinfo if file removal is activated or not. Another idea: Make the option for removal in main menu independent for each playlist so that you can switch from playlist to playlist and check this option fot just that playlist you like to have the removal (to avoid confusion the option could be greyed out for read only or autoplaylists)

I think it would also be useful to have in main menu an additional toggle option to remove skipped tracks (on next or stop). So that you at whole have three modes: remove played, remove skipped or remove both. Sometimes you like just to remove that tracks that are not worth being heard in full length. That wouldn't touch a possible option to consider tracks as played wich was played f.e. 80%

add a user option to remove files from the playlist only after the all songs of the album (i.e., all songs matching %album% in the playlist) are played? I mainly listen to music in "album mode," it would be nice to keep the entire album's tracks in the playlist until it's done. Thanx for considering this feature!

I understood that - I just wanted to ask, what would be the use of such a feature?Only for visual pleasure? (having full albums in the playlist just looks better ^^)

Hmm, I suppose it is just a visual thing. I just like being able to see all the tracks of the album I'm currently listening to. Thanks for listening, but don't bother if I'm the only person interested in this feature.
